ASSISTANT SECRETARY, ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION BRANCH, DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT
NOTICE UNDER SECTION 17E OF THE FUEL QUALITY STANDARDS ACT 2000 CONCERNING A DECISION TO VARY AN APPROVAL GRANTED UNDER SECTION 13 OF THAT ACT
I, Andrew McNee, Assistant Secretary, Environment Protection Branch, Department of the Environment, delegate of the Minister, provide the following information concerning my decision made pursuant to section 17E of the Fuel Quality Standards Act 2000 to vary an approval granted under section 13 of the Act to add regulated persons to the approval.
On 24 July 2013, an approval was granted to Petrochem Carless Limited (the approval). The approval varies the Fuel Standard (Petrol) Determination 2001 to permit the supply of petrol as specified in the approval. Petrochem Carless has since applied for a variation to the approval to add one additional regulated person under section 17E of the Act.
I have decided pursuant to section 17E of the Act to vary the approval to add one additional regulated person.
Period of operation
The approval, as varied, comes into force on the date of signing and remains in force until 31 December 2014.
Additional regulated persons
The following regulated person has been added to the approval:
International Motorsport Solutions Pty Ltd ABN 82 897 212 462 ACN 122179524
| 1/53 Elm Park Drive
| Hoppers Crossing | VIC | 3029 |
Summary of reasons for the approval
I grant the approval as provided for in section 15 of the Act for the following reasons:
(a) The volume of fuel to be supplied under the approval is unlikely to impact on ambient air quality or occupational and public health and safety because it will be used in small quantities in motor sport activities and supplied to regulated users in small quantities, therefore no significant additional impact on the environment is expected.
(b) The addition of one regulated person to the approval is not expected to pose significant safety concerns.
(c) The addition of one regulated person to the approval provides additional choice to consumers for the supply of this fuel.
(d) International Motorsport Solutions contributes to regional economies in the eastern Australia.
